Michael Brennan, Zach Bauchou and Jacob Bridgeman are tied for the 54-hole lead at 13 under at the PGA Tour's Baycurrent Classic in Japan, setting up a final round that tees off Saturday night and plays out into Sunday morning on the East Coast.
Who is chasing the co-leaders?
Five players sit one shot back at 12 under, a group that includes Masters champion Adam Scott, Keith Mitchell and Justin Thomas, a two-time runner-up at this event. Max Homa is three back at 10 under, and Xander Schauffele trails by four at 9 under. It is only the second time this season the PGA Tour has produced a three-way tie through 54 holes.
What is on the line for the leaders?
Brennan is playing for his second win of the season. Bridgeman, who won the Biltmore Championship last month, is seeking his third title of the year and a second consecutive victory. Bauchou, a 30-year-old rookie making just his 31st tour start, is still chasing his first PGA Tour win.
It's only the second time this season the PGA Tour has had a three-way tie through 54 holes.
"I just feel like my game has been pretty solid all year," Bauchou said of his position entering the final round.
Why has Thomas played well overseas?
Thomas has finished runner-up at the Baycurrent Classic twice, and four of his 16 PGA Tour victories have come at events in Malaysia or South Korea. Scott, meanwhile, is looking for his first PGA Tour win since the 2020 Genesis Invitational despite 14 career victories.
